A one day thing? Not on my life

Soooooooo. Here I was just thinking that my little rash was something that would pop up, convince me to see a doctor and then go away without a trace. Do all of that in the course of a day and convince me that I was just crazy.

At least I'm not crazy, about that anyway.

My breakout started to come back seemingly immediately after the diphenhydramine wore off. I wasn't thrilled. I partially expected when I went to sleep that I'd wake up covered in the ever growing rash. However when I awoke this morning, I wasn't completely covered and could still breathe. Good right? Not quite. It didn't take me over while I slept. I thought I would be just fine because it had run it's course. Then I was awake, not coming out a sleep, just awake and the itching started. It was as if my conscious thought was triggering the outbreak. Basically being told that this would take a few days at least to clear up.

I wasn't going to fill the prescription. I'm notorious for not doing so. I have been to the doctor several times where they tell me what I already know and write a prescription that I never fill. I usually get irritated at how much the visit costs and refuse to spend anymore money on what I can be self medicating. I never said I was always practical. Anyway, I got over that when the itching started again. I filled my prescription and decided to trust this expensive doctor.

It appears that I will be on meds for at least thirty days. This should be fun. Here's hoping for no further adverse reactions.
